EDUCATION of POOR GIRLS in NORTH WEST ENGLAND C1780 to 1860: a STUDY of WARRINGTON and CHESTER by Joyce Valerie Ireland
EDUCATION OF POOR GIRLS IN NORTH WEST ENGLAND c1780 to 1860: A STUDY OF WARRINGTON AND CHESTER by Joyce Valerie Ireland A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire September 2005 EDUCATION OF POOR GIRLS IN NORTH WEST ENGLAND cll8Oto 1860 A STUDY OF WARRINGTON AND CHESTER ABSTRACT This study is an attempt to discover what provision there was in North West England in the early nineteenth century for the education of poor girls, using a comparative study of two towns, Warrington and Chester. The existing literature reviewed is quite extensive on the education of the poor generally but there is little that refers specifically to girls. Some of it was useful as background and provided a national framework. In order to describe the context for the study a brief account of early provision for the poor is included. A number of the schools existing in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries continued into the nineteenth and occasionally even into the twentieth centuries and their records became the source material for this study. The eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century were marked by fluctuating fortunes in education, and there was a flurry of activity to revive the schools in both towns in the early nineteenth century. The local archives in the Chester/Cheshire Record Office contain minute books, account books and visitors' books for the Chester Blue Girls' school, Sunday and Working schools, the latter consolidated into one girls' school in 1816, all covering much of the nineteenth century. -

Early Methodism in and Around Chester, 1749-1812
EARIvY METHODISM IN AND AROUND CHESTER — Among the many ancient cities in England which interest the traveller, and delight the antiquary, few, if any, can surpass Chester. Its walls, its bridges, its ruined priory, its many churches, its old houses, its almost unique " rows," all arrest and repay attention. The cathedral, though not one of the largest or most magnificent, recalls many names which deserve to be remembered The name of Matthew Henry sheds lustre on the city in which he spent fifteen years of his fruitful ministry ; and a monument has been most properly erected to his honour in one of the public thoroughfares, Methodists, too, equally with Churchmen and Dissenters, have reason to regard Chester with interest, and associate with it some of the most blessed names in their briefer history. ... By John Wesley made the head of a Circuit which reached from Warrington to Shrewsbury, it has the unique distinction of being the only Circuit which John Fletcher was ever appointed to superintend, with his curate and two other preachers to assist him. Probably no other Circuit in the Connexion has produced four preachers who have filled the chair of the Conference. But from Chester came Richard Reece, and John Gaulter, and the late Rev. John Bowers ; and a still greater orator than either, if not the most effective of all who have been raised up among us, Samuel Bradburn.

Anna Laetitia Barbauld
Anna Laetitia Barbauld Avery Simpson “The dead of midnight is the noon of thought” (Barbauld, “A Summer Evening’s Meditation”) By Richard Samuel, “Portraits in the Characters of the Muses in the Temple of Apollo” (1778) Early Life Born on June 20, 1743 in Leicestershire, United Kingdom to Jane and John Aikin. Her mother served as her teacher in her early years, and her father John was a Presbyterian minister and leader of a dissenting academy. Because of her father’s job, Anna had the opportunity to learn many subjects deemed “unnecessary” for women to know, such Latin, Greek, French, and Italian. At age 15, her father accepted a position at Warrington Academy, which proved influential in her life and writing career. While at Warrington, Anna established lifelong friendships such as philosopher Joseph Priestley, and French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat. Most of Barbauld’s early poems and writings were written during her time at Warrington Academy. Adult Life and The Palgrave Academy In 1773, Barbauld published her first collection of poems titled Poems. Married May 26th, 1774 to Rochemont Barbauld. Shortly after their marriage, the two opened the Palgrave Academy. Adopted her brother’s 2nd son, Charles. She became a well-known author in children’s literature, after writing her four volume work Lessons for Children. The Palgrave Academy was a great success and drew boys from as far away as New York. “Anna Letitia Barbauld” by John Chapman (1798) The Barbauld’s left the academy in 1785. Later Life Anna became a well-known essayist writing about topics such as the French Revolution, the British government, and religion. -
THE WARRINGTON DISPENSARY LIBRARY* By
THE WARRINGTON DISPENSARY LIBRARY* by R. GUEST-GORNALL What wild desire, what restless torments seize, The hapless man who feels the book-disease, If niggard fortune cramp his generous mind And Prudence quench the Spark of heaven assigned With wistful glance his aching eyes behold The Princeps-copy, clad in blue and gold, Where the tall Book-case, with partition thin Displays, yet guards, the tempting charms within. John Ferriar (1761-1815) THAT the thousand or more items comprising the Warrington Dispensary old library have been preserved intact is due to Sir William Osler, whose fame as a scholarly student of medical history is second only to his great repute as a clinical teacher, and also to the opportunity given him by his arrival in England in 1904 to take up his latest academic appointment as Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford. If he was seized with a wild desire to possess the tempting charms of this unique collection it was because he wished to help to build up the library of the School of Medicine at Johns Hopkins which he had just left after fifteen years and which was still in its early days, having been founded in 1893; that no niggard fortune cramped this generous impulse was due to William A. Marburg who paid for them. In the words of Professor Singer, Osler was a true book lover to whom the very sight and touch of an ancient document brought a subtle pleasure, and he would quite understand what Ferriarl meant in the lines above; in fact he had an elegantly bound copy of the poem, printed in Warrington, which was given him with several other books from the same press by his friend Sir Walter Fletcher with the following note. -
